On the other hand, Harry and Doria's connection is growing even though there appears to be growing tensions within the royal family. Doria, who lives near the Sussexes, has happy times with her son-in-law all the time. With the yoga instructor and psychologist, Harry and Meghan have made priceless experiences that include summer vacations and memorable anniversaries.
Doria, known for her privacy, broke her silence regarding her daughter's relationship with the prince in the couple's Netflix docuseries. Reflecting on Meghan and Harry's romance, which began in 2016, she spoke about her initial positive impressions of Harry, describing him as a charming man with red hair, possessing excellent manners, and being genuinely pleasant. She felt that they looked incredibly happy together.
A year after making their relationship public, Prince Harry and Meghan highlighted how deeply they had become intertwined in each other's families during their engagement interview in 2017. The couple revealed they had spent significant time with Meghan's mother, particularly following their royal wedding in 2018, which Meghan reportedly co-planned with input from Doria. Doria was known to visit them at their private Cotswolds home during their summer break.
Royal correspondent Omid Scobie later shared on Twitter that Doria maintains a close bond with Harry and continues to be a source of strength for Meghan. Harry himself has described Doria as "amazing." The couple even celebrated their understated first wedding anniversary with her in 2019.
However, it's worth noting that some critics based in the US argue that Harry doesn't extend the same respect to his own blood relatives, including King Charles and Prince William, as evidenced by his candid memoir, where he did not hold back in discussing his family.
